Interesting Words - how does it work?

Dianne Thornton

Curious about "Interesting Words" ... I love it ... but, I'm wondering how it chooses words.

I made a "guide" for that only ... and used the book of proverbs ... I was surprised to see that "blessed" (in the niv) was used so often.  (not really tho ...)

But, not once did the words WISE or WISDOM appear in the Interesting Words.  In a simply Bible search there are 60 occurances of the word WISE and 51 for WISDOM.

I thought that the larger the word, the more often it occurs in the passage.

according to Interesting Words ... bless occurs 23 times (or so) ... instruct 17x ... but understand (and it's similar words) 42x ...

Would you please explain how this works?  When I study, I do my own searches, etc. to see how often words occur, etc.  But I really like Interesting Words - it's fun.  But I'm not seeing that it's too terribly accurate.  (maybe I'm doing something wrong?  that wouldn't be surprising!)

THANKS!

But I'm not seeing that it's too terribly accurate.

Perhaps that's what makes it interesting? HMM? No.

Actually I don't recall anyone fro Logos revealing how they do it. I don't find it too useful because of some of the things you point out.
